It sounds like you've had an absolutely marvelous time! I'm particularly envious of your visit to Craigside - I checked it out both on the NT website and on Wikipedia and it both looks and sounds just like the sort of place I would LOVE to visit. Those meerkats at the Butterfly house are totally adorable! And so are Millie and Mollie.

Sounds like James had lots of fun doing overtime at the Pride.

That's a bit of disappointment she's moved the class to Wednesdays but the rest of the changes sounds positive so I hope you will still "enjoy" yourself ;-)
